I help people appeal against injustice

As part of the Pro Bono Innocence Project at UWE Bristol,
Clifford has been working on the case of a man who has served 20
years in prison for a murder he claims he did not commit.

Law student Clifford came
to UWE Bristol at the age of 51, having left school without
A-levels. Within his first year, and with the support of his
tutors, Clifford was transformed into a first class student.

Having exceeded his own expectations he came up with a clear
plan for personal and professional development: to help people
appeal against injustice.

Clifford says

“Through the Pro Bono Innocence Project at UWE Bristol, I've had
the opportunity to help a man who has served 20 years in prison for
a murder he claims he did not commit. His only hope is that
students, working on his behalf, can find something that would
allow his case to be referred back to the Court of Appeal. No one
else will undertake this work for him. This has involved a
commitment of some six hours a week, over and above study
time. But if there is anything I can do to help right an injustice,
to be a small cog in the wheel, I'll try my best to do it.”
